Respuesta :

Answer: 67 basketball> baseball

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s use algebra to solve this problem. Let’s call the number of basketballs that the coach buys “B”.

According to the problem, the coach buys 125 more soccer balls than basketballs. This means that the number of soccer balls that the coach buys is “B + 125”.

The coach also buys 58 fewer baseballs than soccer balls. This means that the number of baseballs that the coach buys is “(B + 125) - 58”.

To find out whether there are more basketballs or baseballs, we need to compare the number of basketballs to the number of baseballs.

B = number of basketballs (B + 125) - 58 = number of baseballs

We can simplify this expression:

B + 125 - 58 = B + 67

Therefore, there are 67 more basketballs than baseballs.
